Of course, you can add meat to this dish if you’d like. I’ve tried it both ways and like them about the same. To do so, simply add a half pound of ground beef or turkey in place of the black (or kidney) beans for an equally delectable result. When I make this chili I love having it for two meals in one week for the sake of convenience and cost....

Since going dairy-free, I haven’t made french toast as often as I used to, but I do miss it. Our favorite recipe is basic with a little cinnamon and vanilla, then topped with fresh strawberries and maple syrup or honey. I’m not entirely egg-free (though am growing more suspicious of them by the moment), but I wanted to make a vegan french toast recipe A) to see if it was in fact possible to make french toast without eggs, and B) to come up with my own variation to share with you all, as I know there are already a lot of vegan frenchy recipes out there....

I posted about it weeks ago on Instagram and have since tested it a few more times to perfect it. The first attempt yielded moist, flavorful bread that was a bit too crumbly. The second attempt seemed hopeful, but it failed to remedy that problem once again. Third time was a charm! I think I’ve nailed it. So excited to share this simple 1-Bowl Vegan AND Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread with you guys!...

Perhaps by telling you this is the creamiest, dreamiest mint ice cream you’ll ever feast on. And that it’s loaded with raw brownie chunks. YES, brownie chunks. No wimpy chocolate chips here. Oh, and that it’s entirely vegan and gluten-free. Whoo, that was a mouthful, but you need to know it all! I used to despise mint everything, especially desserts. Mint belonged in fluoride and toothpaste as far as I was concerned; nowhere near my ice cream....

❤️ About This Recipe Hands down, this is our favorite go-to whipped cream cheese frosting made without butter. Mostly, all the popular recipes of cream cheese frosting call for butter. But in my opinion, the combination of butter and cream cheese makes the icing too rich, heavy, and sometimes greasy (you can feel it to the roof of your mouth). So I prefer to make it without butter. Still, I want to keep the frosting rich but not super heavy or greasy....

This recipe is easy to make, requiring 1 bowl and 10 ingredients. The base starts with vegan “buttermilk” made by mixing dairy-free milk and vinegar. Then add in applesauce for (oil-free!) moisture and natural sweetness and vanilla extract for that quintessential vanilla flavor. YUM. For the dry ingredients, after much experimentation, we went with a mixture of almond flour, potato starch, and cornstarch. This combo totally nailed it! So stoked for that fluffy, crumbly texture....

Let’s party! Truffles are one of those desserts I can’t resist. In college I had a habit of stopping into our university bookstore between classes to pick up a bag of roasted almonds and a dark chocolate truffle. I also had a thing for individually wrapped bubble gum, but that’s another story. These days my indulgence of choice is a square of dark chocolate, but any time truffles are around you know I’m enjoying at least two (or twelve)....

Origins of Tater Tots Tater tots were invented in the 1950s as a way to use up leftover potato scraps from making french fries. The invention came from brothers Nephi and Golden Grigg who owned a potato processing plant in Oregon near the Idaho border. Gotta love their resourcefulness! The following is inspired by the bite-sized, crispy tots, but with the swap of sweet potatoes. Sweet Potato Tater Tots So I’ve tried to make sweet potato tater tots before and it didn’t work out....

A month ago, my in-laws were here. My mother-in-law taught me how to make this rasiya muthia. While they were here, she made it every week because we all love this. Here amount of rice is high which makes muthia soft. But she said that if you have less leftover rice, then add more flour and make dough with water, but add a big pinch of baking soda. This soda will make softer muthia....

To keep our version plant-based and gluten-free, we opted for chickpeas instead of chicken and candied pecans in place of cornbread, and we crafted a 5-minute smoky chipotle dressing to cut down on prep time. The result is an incredibly satisfying salad that strikes the perfect balance between smoky, spicy, savory, and sweet. Just 8 ingredients and 30 minutes required. Let’s do this! This recipe is inspired by both Mexican and Indian cuisines- two of our favorites!...
